- GoofsWithin the first few minutes of the movie as the camera follows an officer walking around the rear of the truck, an injured soldier can be seen laying on floor of the truck and has a boot protruding from under the blanket. The boot can be seen in clear view with absolutely no signs of wear to the sole which would be impossible for Germans retreating from Russia after marching and fighting all the way there.
Featured review
This movie is a mildly interesting story about some women caught up in the eastern front during WWII. Unfortunately the implementation is pretty dire. I'm assuming that the director made this as his student film, so I don't want to be too harsh, but it's hard to make a movie this weak. It looks like it was filmed in the actors mates garden with a collection of very British and American actors who made no attempt to pretend to be German. This is all well and good but the Russians in the movie all had phony Russian accents.
As expected for a very low budget film the historical accuracy isn't great; the uniforms aren't right, the guns are unlikely and the vehicles are implausible even if they are the right vintage. You really need someone who knows about guns and the army if you are going to make a war movie. There was clearly not a single person on set who knows anything about army tactics.
There is no sense of urgency throughout the film even though the characters are constantly talking about the impending Russian assault. I guess there wasn't the budget for a real battle.
If you don't have the budget to do the story justice, then maybe the film should have been about a bunch of lads on a camping trip on a golf course. Write what you know.
I hope the director got a good grade, but he really shouldn't be charging people to watch this.
